Im seeing reference to 147.54 P25 in the swap meet thread... Is this a normal simplex for running P25 for everyone? If it is should I just leave the radio pretty much at its defaults? Im kinda new to the digital world... |

Last year on this forum I :horse: about the use of P25 on that frequency... Only time you hear P25 is in Puyallup on the second weekend of the month :bowrofl: Eric KB7DQH |

So, mind if I ask a blunt question? Why not use the more commonly accepted 2m call frequency (146.52)? My radio supports listening to two frequencies at once, and I prefer to sit one on the active repeater in my area... and the other on the call channel (146.52). Now I can't easily montior all 3... |

Actually, 146.52 is reserved for analog, and 146.5375 is supposed to be the P25 calling channel. That lessens the digital traffic's annoyance to the folks who have analog-only radios, similar to why packet has separate channels from voice. |

Quote: Who decided 146.5375 is digital? It's not official, just something that was put up as a nominal bandplan years ago that I've kept in my notes. There are a couple of other proposals floating around - but all avoid using 146.52. ARRL is still "studying" going to narrowband on all or part of two meters, don't expect any help soon. |
